Interesting that nobody on the conservative side hates immigrants but continue to vote on politicians with platforms built upon the hatred of immigrants. It’s almost as if they’re lying.

Cool, like what reasons, for example? The reasons given in this press release are transparently pretextual.

OK, so once again, you’re dismissing the other side’s arguments as lies.
If you want to convince people of your argument, start by engaging in actual debate instead of simply calling your opponent names.
Also, once again: I am not your opponent. I don’t agree with this change.

then calling the other side liars because they disagree with your rhetoric
The POTUS has lied about immigrants since the moment he came down the escalator in 2015 and hasn't let up since.
From the old tired crime arguments of the past to outright bs (eating cats and dogs!).
Honestly I wish that was all he lied about, but nothing is sacred.

Such as?
Such as the desire for theocratic surveillance fascism (what Jesus advocated for tirelessly).
> I don’t like this policy, but engaging in exaggerated rhetoric
The Trump admin just sent an official death threat to trans people and anti-fascists (lol??). I am so incredibly sick of people acting like this is ok and normal and any calling out is exaggerating. At some point, you're not defending sensible discourse, you're lecturing people for being upset when they have a murderous regime targeting them. It's a shitty thing to do. You're defending actual fascism at this point. And I'm happy to back up that claim without rhetoric by demonstrating the ways in which the US is (and has been) slipping into fascism for decades. Something tells me I'd be wasting my breath though.
